“It is okay, I don’t want to shoot anything else after this. I need a break.” Yan Huan still smiled, but her smile was dull. Yeah, after this shoot was complete, she would not want to be involved in the next scene anymore, she no longer had the mood.
Would her hair ever grow again on that particular scalp area? She did not care. Nobody would be concerned about her anymore, even if she went bald.
The doctor took over the antiseptic liquid and cleaned the wound for Yan Huan. She did not tell this to anyone, as if she did not get hurt in the first place.
Others were resting while it was raining heavily, but she was the only one that prepared for the raining scene.
At this moment, she was in the rain, her clothes were completely wet. She caught a furry animal. Its fur could be made into clothes. But such an animal was difficult to catch. They only appeared during rainy days, and only for a short while.
She wiped away the rainwater on her face and showed a signal to Tarzan who was just beside her. Tarzan was clever, he could roughly understand her meaning.
They hid beside the tree, waiting for the animal to appear. Finally, there was one after they waited for more than an hour. Tarzan was at the left, while she was on the right side.
Here, Shi Jia did not have to train because her daily routine was waking up, hunting, and hunting enormous animals. Therefore, her intuition, her smell, and her capability to respond were all enhanced.
Her body fell directly toward one side, all of a sudden, her face was being splashed by the muddy water, but her face was still emotionless. Deep in her eyes, a gigantic and furry animal ran toward her.
At the moment, she grasped the knife in her hand tightly, then she pointed the knife toward it, and the knife scratched its skin.
The animal growled in agony. At first, it struggled for a short while, but then it collapsed, seemed like it died with its big eyes were widely opened.
It was the latest anesthetic drug developed by Yao Xiaoyu. If it were being applied on the knife, even an elephant could be anesthetized almost completely if the drug contacted its skin. Their target was now slightly smaller than an elephant. However, although it was smaller, it was actually considered huge here. Its size was quite similar to a lion during their time, the fur of two such animals could be made into a blanket, and the rest could be used to make other objects.
With the blanket, it was not a problem for them to stay here until the winter ended.
The seasons here were distinct. However, while the summer was short, the winter was extremely long, almost two months longer than the other seasons. The barbarians would start to store food since summer. But such a way did not work well because their food could not last for a long period of time. Eventually, Zhang Peng, the modern man taught them how to make hams. The ham was made using a similar method of making bacon in modern times. Although it did not taste as good, it could be stored for a long time, for the whole winter, without spoiling.
Shi Jia kept all the furs and made them into blankets, and she stored the meat after preserving them.
They went hunting every day. They ate some in the morning and kept the rest. Besides, Yao Xiaoyu found plenty of edible wild vegetables and she dried them to preserve them for a longer time. She liked to store food, to begin with. When the vegetables were dried, she would wrap them up, and bury them under the ground. When it was winter, they could be eaten.
“Achoo…!”
Yan Huan sneezed, she took a jacket and covered herself. The weather was turning much cooler. It seemed like she got the flu after getting wet in the rain for a whole night yesterday.
Luckily, the housekeeper had prepared some soup for her to drink.
Yan Huan took the soup, put it beside her mouth and started drinking. She drank this soup like medicine. Every time she caught a cold, Lu Yi would order the housekeeper to prepare this soup for her. In the beginning, she refused to drink it, but strangely, she got used to the soup now.
“How are you?” Liang Chen entered the tent, and put her hand on Yan Huan’s forehead, “You don’t have to work this hard.”
“I am fine. We can complete it a day earlier if we take a few more scenes. Oh, yeah,” she pointed at the bowl on the table, “You should have some, too.”
The housekeeper brought another bowl for Liang Chen.
And she said, “It’s getting colder now. You can prevent the cold if you have some. ”
Liang Chen accepted the offer to drink the soup. The smell of raw ginger was not too bearable for him. But she understood the kindness of Yan Huan, and she could not reject her. Regardlessly, the bowl was in her hands now. It would look bad if she did not drink it. She had to finish it even if it tasted really bad.
She tasted a little, and the pungent taste almost caused her to vomit. But she persevered and finished it. When she finished it, she felt like crying. The soup was too spicy.
She had a glass of water for herself, after drinking two glasses, only then did the spicy taste go away.
“It will be better once you are familiar with it,” Yan Huan drank some more. She drank it slowly and tasted it silently. The taste was not too nice, but it was familiar and it made her miss him.
After she finished it, the housekeeper came with another bowl of soup and passed it to Yan Huan.
“Do you want more?”
Liang Chen felt like she almost wanted to vomit, but Yan Huan kept drinking the soup. Liang Chen swallowed her saliva unconsciously, is she a soup drinker, or a thirsty donkey?
The housekeeper came with another bowl of soup and put it in front of Liang Chen.
Liang Chen felt embarrassed so she could only accept it. How could she refuse?
“It seems like Miss Liang is having problems with the uterus,” The housekeeper knew it when she saw her face. “It’s similar to Miss Yan, isn’t it? You did not take good care of your health when you were young, and you always filmed in the cold water during winter. That’s why you would feel uncomfortable during your period.”
Liang Chen nodded, “Yeah, that’s mostly right,” It is true that she had those troubles, she had tried many types of medicine before. Like traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and many other supplements. She even went for body conditioning, but it was effortless. Her health was damaged during youth, hence she was suffering at this age.
However, there was no exception for every actor and actress. When they were young, each of them struggled to succeed, everyone started the journey from being nameless to gaining fame. When they were nameless, they would be willing to portray anyone. They were willing to wear winter suits during summer, and immersed in cold water during winter. This was normal for them. It was still acceptable for men, but it severely affected the woman’s body. Who said that it was easy to be an actor or an actress? In fact, it was tough, sometimes they have to film without concern for their own health and life.
